Identifying with the Self That Is God’s Son

The body is a fence the Son of God imagines he has built, to separate parts of his Self from other parts.

The body is a dream. ²Like other dreams it sometimes seems to picture happiness, but can quite suddenly revert to fear, where every dream is born. ³For only love creates in truth, and truth can never fear. ⁴Made to be fearful, must the body serve the purpose given it. ⁵But we can change the purpose that the body will obey by changing what we think that it is for.

The body is the means by which God’s Son returns to sanity. ²Though it was made to fence him into hell without escape, yet has the goal of Heaven been exchanged for the pursuit of hell. ³The Son of God extends his hand to reach his brother, and to help him walk along the road with him. ⁴Now is the body holy. ⁵Now it serves to heal the mind that it was made to kill.

⁴Love is your safety. ⁵Fear does not exist. ⁶Identify with love, and you are safe. ⁷Identify with love, and you are home. ⁸Identify with love, and find your Self. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.5.1:1;3-4;5:4-8)

Let us dedicate today to letting Love be our Guide in all our doings. Love will direct us in what to do, where to go, what to say and to whom. With Love as our Guide, it will be a happy day. We not only experience the joy of giving but receive joy’s blessings in return.

With this practice, we will be identifying with the Self God created as His Son.
